Recently, Dr. Glenn Myers presented a paper at the International Congress on Medieval Studies/Institute for Cistercian and Monastic Studies in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Entitled ?Honoring the Stages of Spiritual Formation: William of St. Thierry?s Legacy in the Sermons of Johannes Tauler,? this paper traced the transmission of ideas between two important classic authors on spiritual formation. Dr. Myers, Professor of Church History and Theological Studies at Crown College, has also been asked to contribute a chapter containing this research in a forthcoming scholarly volume on William of St. Thierry.Dr. Myers received his BS in History from Carnegie-Mellon University, his MDiv from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and his PhD in Church History from Boston University.
